Untitled is a 1973 ink by Marcel Broodthaers, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This looks like a sketchy journal page. The top has the word "Journal" written in loose letters. Below it, a tiny green box shows three stick-figure people in a hot-air balloon floating over a flat, pale landscape. The rest of the page has messy ink lines and a scrawled phrase in French: *"d’un voyage utopique par monts et par vaux."* The date "Berlin, le 25 octobre 1973" is scribbled in the corner, but the rest of the writing is blank or smudged. It feels like a half-finished note about an imaginary trip. If this style of drawing intrigues you, check out lithography next—it’s how this sketch was made.
